    FadeToBlack: And I don't see anything pedantic about what GoodStein pointed out. He was just stating the facts.

    No, no. It was just Shirley getting me back for an earlier comment I made about his pedantry.

    Alleged pedantry.

    'Alleged?' Another qualifier?

    Pedant.

    I'm just having fun at Ann's expense (see page one of this thread).

    Goodstein made a great point and I'm not dismissing it at all.

    Shirley, when was Job written? I seem to recall some earlier threads that suggest from the langauge that it was actually one of the oldest texts. Certainly not Hebrew. But yes, I get the whole 'sphere/circle' thing.

    Pedant.

    I like you, Ann. Free for dinner?

    @Shirley: that's where I thought you were heading... I feel like a third wheel. Carry on. I need to dig up all the old threads about Job now. Thanks.
